How to Catch and Cook Largemouth Bass



We’re Bassin’ on E Park Fishing Channel. I usually release my catch but wanted to try out some Largemouth Bass. My friend Peter told me about it tasting like Sea Bass and I gotta say… it’s not bad! Pretty easy to cook, and most importantly, SUPER fun to fish for. They have a fierce strike and are pretty aggressive fighters! The rig I used was insanely simple: a free-lined soft plastic worm on a 1/0 offset shank worm hook. The weight of the worm and a 9ft rod gives more than enough casting power for a small creek.

Rod: 9 ft medium fast-action Ugly Stik GX2
Reel: Beast 6500 baitrunner
Line: 10lb Monofilament (the cheap kind)
Hook: 1/0 worm hook and 2/0 “Slow Death” hook
Bait: 4″ berkley worms, in natural and black, rigged weedless/Texas
